I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for the great advice. Ive been trying to drink as much as I can. I have not been dehydrated yet, thank God. I will try the MOM tonight and see what happens. I'm not really eating that much but I know I have to go. I can feel it. My tummy is full and hurts.

I wonder if part of this could be because of all the Protein as well? I remember when I tried Atkins...one of the main reasons I stopped was Constipation. Just thoughts....

Man I'm having the opposite problem and my hems are hurting and bleeding grrr

Are you still on liquids?

Good news- once you start eating that will go away

Bad news- once the Constipation starts, you'll wish you could go back to liquids.< /p>

I'm on iv nutrition or TPN I can try anything up to full liquids which does help a little but I'm just so swollen it sucks I'm either throwing up or diarrhea or both.. I have had problems with dumping since my gall bladder came out I was in the bathroom for hours at a time so constipation is wanted at this moment. But not lasting

My stomach is still swelled. I just called dr cause my throat feels swelled up. I still feel very sick especially when taking meds. Thank you for the prayers I need them and mine go to the others having issues too! Thanks for checking

You are so right!! The nurse just called me back and said I need to call my family physician. So now I will have to pay copayment and watch they will say its from my stomach

This has made me seriously consider switching to the PPO coverage instead of H.M.O. that I have now!! WHY does everything have to be so complicated when it comes to insurance? :\ IDK if PPO would even be any better!

I'm going to a surgeon over an hour away, it worries me that if I have complications that I'll have to go that far to be seen. :(

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
